Food attention 1, the general population can eat. Especially suitable for the weak;
2. People with phlegm and allergies (urticaria, eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis), children with food stagnation and poor appetite, and diabetic patients should eat less; At the same time, people with stomachache and epigastric damp-heat stagnation should not eat it.
Shopping guide 1, be sure to carefully observe the appearance of the whole taro, because the appearance of taro often has some fur, which will cover part of the epidermis. Pull those furs aside and feel them carefully to see if they are moldy, rotten, hard, dry and spotted. Good taro will never have these marks.
2. Check whether taro is fresh. Because the whole taro comes out from under the soil, the fresh taro must have the taste of moist soil and a little moisture itself. Moreover, fresh taro is generally hard. If taro is found to be soft, it is probably old and stale.
3. Observe the integrity and size of taro. Generally, the bigger the taro, the better, and its quality and price are often proportional to its size. But although it is big, its appearance is more easily damaged, so there is another requirement that there should be no scars on its appearance, that is, to maintain the integrity of taro.
4. After checking the size of taro, start to check the weight of taro. The method of checking the weight is simple, just compare two taro with the same size. Generally speaking, the lighter side of taro with the same size is of good quality, because it is powdery and tastes good because of its high starch content; On the contrary, the heavier side may have more water content, poor meat quality and poor taste. So, the most important thing is those small and heavy taro.
5. Check the roots of taro. Generally speaking, whether taro is of high quality or not, and whether the meat quality is powdery enough, can be checked from the root. Cut the root slightly with a knife, and there will be some milky viscous liquid at the incision. Touch it gently with your hand. If these mucilages are thick and white and can be quickly dried into white powder, then taro is good enough and is a high-quality product.
6. Another way to find out the root cause is to check trachoma. Near the root of taro, if there are many trachoma, that is, concave holes with soil, taro is powdery and of good quality; If the skin is smooth, it is not very pink. (as shown in the figure below)
7. Check the cross-sectional texture of taro. Generally, large taro sellers will cut them in half for sale. At this time, it is necessary to observe the cross-sectional texture of taro. If the purple-red lines on the cross section are more and more dense, they are usually pink. On the contrary, the more spaces, the worse the meat quality.
8. In fact, this step is not a method, but a choice. At present, Fenghua is the hometown of taro in China, so authentic Fenghua taro is generally a good product and can be given priority.
